Cop accused of corruption to be tried in September
(CNS): The police officer accused of asking for a bribe from a Filipino national in exchange for not pursuing an investigation into a possible theft will face trial later this year. Elvis Ebanks, who pleaded not guilty to four charges in relation to the alleged bribe, will be tried by jury on 30 September. The 28-year-old police officer from George Town, who is currently suspended from duty, denies taking more than CI$500 from a man in connection with a lost or possibly stolen phone. Ebanks is the first serving police officer charged under the relatively new anti-corruption law after he was arrested in Savannah as a result of information given to the police by his alleged victim.
